San Diego Comic-Con 2011: Early Art for The Darkness II

Even though its release has been bumped to 2012, the upcoming video game The Darkness II still has quite a presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and we have your first look at some early art! Dig it!

Darkness II takes place two years after the events of the first game. According to the game’s wiki, “He (Jackie Estacado) has been unable to shake the thoughts of his dead girlfriend Jenny since he contained his supernatural powers, and now the Darkness ‘wants out’.”

“A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie’s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The assassination attempt reawakens the Darkness, sending Jackie on a mission to discover the mystery of the attack and motivations of the Darkness itself. This quest brings Jackie into confrontation with The Crippled Man, a mysterious figure who knows what the Darkness is and wants the power for himself. The Crippled Man is the head of a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood, formed hundreds of years ago for the sole purpose of destroying the Darkness once and for all.”
